That was the one that got me. I know some of the rougher bits of the book didn't really migrate fully to the film, but cozy is not what I'd call it at all.

One childhood thing that came to the new place is this cuddly oddish that my mum made for me. It now hangs out on the arm of the sofa.

A handmade oddish, made of a blue sweatshirt and a pale green towel.

At the time, it would have likely had Norse/Irish/Welsh influence, but my partner says the modern Scouse accent has some different influences that came in later thrown in as well.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Every time I went, it found a new way to be an unpleasant venue.

One of the things about this study is that a lot of baby and toddler books are written in house, by editors. So the study reveals the whiteness of editorial in kidlit even if not explicitly. But, big picture, this trend is unacceptable. I remember so many promises www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

‘Catastrophic decline’ in Black representation in children’s books

Meet my newest creation Edith the Moth Phantom! I designed and hand-sewed her. She enjoys singing sea shanties with her cryptid band. They perform primarily for the moon. She also likes appearing to travelers as good or bad omens, depending on her mood.

Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art moth phantom. She's a white moth phantom with a gray face, large twinkly black eyes, and a little frown. She has curly white antennae. There are black and gray oval markings on her wings. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's another lovely pic of Edith. In this one, she's resting on my palm.

Having lived in Cambridge (UK edition) for seven years, I regret to inform you that this type of guy is real, I have met several of him and hated every second.

Oh hey, this is also my whole experience of being around other people.

I thought I would do a thread to reply to the below pal because there is a lot to consider about being autistic and feeling comfortable with people. It’s something I have thought a lot about recently 💘🧵

Tell me more. I'm curious what it's like. Do you mean like you feel like you can't be weird around people?

(Weird isn't being used negatively here)

You do a great job. There's so much good stuff that you've talked about that I would never have known about otherwise.

Time for another #cephalopod as today is #WorldOctopusDay! To celebrate our eight armed friends, our Library Assistant has chosen one of her favourite illustrations - Muusoctopus levis from the German Deep-Sea Expedition 'Valdivia' 1898-1899 🐙

Pretty little babies 🥰😍⁠

The pearl octopus (Muusoctopus robustus) mates and nests in deep-sea thermal springs, where the warm water seeping from the seafloor accelerates the development of their embryos.⁠

My manager's all like "I don't see how your neurodivergence affects you" and no, I am very good at masking at work, but as soon as you see me in a social context where my rent isn't dependent on me charming people I lurk in corners and stare like a ghost in a second-rate horror film.
